Item 1. Description of Business.
(a) General Development of Business
The ROVAC Corporation ("the Company") is a Delaware corporation, which was organized in 1972 and has been involved in the research and development of a variety of mechanical devices. During the last fiscal year, the Company continued manufacturing and selling key components of its thermoplastic pipe connecting technology. The Company's patented CinchLockâ pipe connectors consist of mechanical connecting devices, which join pipes and joints of assorted size and shapes without glue or solder to permit the flow of fluid or air under different operating conditions and pressures. The Company has only one business segment.
(b) Business of Issuer
During the fiscal year ending July 31, 2000, the Company completed its negotiations with NIBCO resulting in an exclusive worldwide thermoplastic sales agreement effective May 1, 2000. During the fiscal year, the Company continued to manufacture and sell product to NIBCO. NIBCO is currently finalizing plans to introduce additional thermoplastic product lines into the marketplace during the first six months of the calendar year 2001. As a result of the NIBCO worldwide thermoplastic exclusive agreement, all ongoing negotiations in Europe were terminated.
At the end of the fiscal year, The ROVAC Corporation had 2 employees who worked full time, a full time consultant and two part-time employees. The Company uses part-time employees on an as needed basis for manufacturing. The Company has numerous domestic and foreign patents issued as well as a number of other patent applications pending for its CinchLockâ pipe connecting technology.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
(a) Plan of Operation
In conjunction with the NIBCO Agreement, the Company's operations have recently changed from the past and our now primarily focused on the manufacture of its CinchLockâ and CinchFreetm product lines. The Company will continue to produce inventory in order to meet the upcoming demand under the new NIBCO thermoplastic agreement. The current NIBCO Agreement requires minimal payments, which increase during the contract period, which expires on April 30, 2004. The Company's production plans are intended to meet NIBCO's requirements which are expected to increase during the first six months of calendar year 2001.
Additionally, the Company is currently evaluating how to proceed with its CinchLockâ product introduction into the metals markets. One option under consideration would be to secure additional licenses for metal market applications. The second option under consideration would be for the Company to internally develop, produce, market and distribute a product line of CinchLockâ metal market repair couplings.
The Company intends to receive additional income pursuant to its NIBCO Agreement and also intends to receive funding from its parent company in order to meet its cash requirements for the upcoming fiscal year. However, there can be no assurance that such sources of funding will continue.
During the fiscal year, the Company received limited revenues through the sales of its CinchLockâ pipe connecting technology and received increased income from its commercial licensing agreement. At the close of and for the fiscal year ending on July 31, 2000 officers made net loans to the Company in the amount of approximately $1,100. At the close and for the fiscal year ending on July 31, 2000 net advances from the parent company increased by approximately $33,000.
(b) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
(1) Results of Operations for the year ended July 31, 2000
Revenues were $63,941 for the year ending July 31, 2000 as compared to $96,634 for the year ending July 31, 1999. The decrease of $32,693 was primarily due to the Company's efforts during the year to finalize its worldwide thermoplastics agreement with NIBCO.
The total operating expenses were $165,504 for the year ending July 31, 2000 as compared to $178,013 for the fiscal year ending 1999. The decrease of $12,509 is attributable to the Company's efforts to contain cost in all areas.
(2) Results of Operation for the year ended July 31, 1999
The total operating expenses were $178,013 for the year ending July 31, 1999 as compared to $146,587 for the fiscal year ending 1998. The increase of $31,426 is mainly attributable to production, manufacturing and research and development costs related to an increase in product demand.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
The ROVAC Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The ROVAC Corporation as of July 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The ROVAC Corporation as of July 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Rovac Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Basis of Presentation
The Rovac Corporation (Company) is a majority-owned subsidiary of Stafford Industries, Inc. (Parent). The Parent owned approximately 56% of the Company at July 31, 2000 and 1999.
The Company is primarily a research and development firm engaged principally in designing, building and testing a number of products. The company has completed a transition phase, which has allowed the introduction of its pipe connecting technology to reach commercial markets. Currently, the Company has one customer.
The Company's financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reported net losses of $178,447 and $158,157 for the years ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As a result, a stockholders' deficit of $2,556,691 was reported and the Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by $2,630,348 at July 31, 2000. These conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
No significant revenues have been generated in the past two years. During this time the Company has been primarily dependent upon officer loans and advances from the Parent company to fund expenses. Continued operations of the Company are dependent upon the Company's ability to successfully secure customers for its new products and the ability to secure additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful.
The Company is expanding the market for its new mechanical pipe connector. The Company's ability to recover the recorded amounts of its assets, particularly the unamortized cost of patents and patent applications of $67,303 is dependent on the success of its ventures.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market; cost is determined principally on the basis of first-in, first-out method (FIFO).
(b) Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight- line method over useful lives of two to ten years.
(c) Patent applications
Patent applications are stated at cost until a patent is granted, at which time the costs are amortized over the life of the patent. Patent applications subsequently determined to be not commercially feasible are charged to income at the time of such determination.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
(e) Loss per share of common stock
Loss per share of common stock as computed is based on the weighted average of the number of shares outstanding and issuable during the years (39,983,073) in 2000 and (39,983,073) in 1999.

Inventory consists of the following:
